Chapter 864 Seeking Development Down-to-Earth
Time has entered April unknowingly.
Wu Tao finally ended his nearly one-year stay in a hotel and moved into a house in Xichunyuan Community.
The overall appearance of this house is very old, but the neighborhoods near the school are like this, and there is no better choice.
Fortunately, after Aunt Hua's special care, the interior decoration of the house is still remarkable.
The white European decoration style is full of romanticism. Wu Tao thought it was pretty good after seeing it, and more importantly, An Rong liked it very much after seeing it.
So on the first day they got the keys, the two moved in together.
Although the house has just been renovated for three months, there may still be some toxic gas from the renovation, but fortunately, in April, the windows can be kept open all day long, so that the poisonous gas of formaldehyde will not be blocked.
In addition, under Wu Tao's special instructions, the house is filled with various green plants, which are full of vitality and can absorb various poisonous gases.
With the nest of the two of them, Wu Tao and An Rong, the golden boy and jade girl, became more confident and confident.
Shuttle between the residence, Tianjing Company and Tsinghua University every day, three points and one line, like a fairy life.
Only An Rong knew that Wu Tao's life was not easy these days.
Recently, relying on his own influence, he has successively published articles in Internet business intelligence and authoritative computer magazines, expressing his judgment on the overheating of the Internet industry.
However, the result was not ideal.
Not only were there very few responders, but it also attracted a lot of blind opposition.
Many so-called experts and scholars lashed out at his views, and there are also some people who want to use their heads to boost their self-worth by attacking him.
It's okay to be so incomprehensible to outsiders.
More importantly, those like-minded people did not understand his analysis and judgment, and there were signs of parting ways with him.
For example, Ding Lei of Netease.
After Wu Tao reminded him repeatedly, Ding Lei was still extremely optimistic about NetEase's development, without any sense of crisis at all.
Even later, every time Wu Tao brought up this topic, he chose to avoid it.
The same is true of Hu Ning.
After her radical Qianqian Jingting IPO plan was rejected by Wu Tao, Hu Ning entered into a state of Buddhism in the development and maintenance of Qianqian Jingting's website, so that the website became somewhat half-dead.
Sitting in the office of the computer center, Hu Ning was in a daze as he listened to the sound of the neighbors being evacuated one after another.
There is no doubt that the abolition of the project team next door shows that the online alumni recording project of classmate Wang Xiaochuan died prematurely.
No matter how smug Wang Xiaochuan was at the beginning, he didn't break Wu Tao's conclusion in the end.
I have to admit that Wu Tao's grasp of the pulse of the Internet industry is really accurate!
If this is the case, is there any reason or reason for his opposition to the IPO plan of Qianqian Jingting music website?
She couldn't figure out why a boss who could allocate 200 million yuan to Alibaba while talking and laughing, why Dudu was so stingy with his own project.
Hu Ning couldn't help pondering such questions every day, but in the end there was no answer.
Looking back at the American university application materials in front of him, Hu Ning sighed softly and began to work hard for further studies abroad.
Wu Tao was deeply saddened by the changes in these people, but also very helpless.
For more than a month, the entire industry environment has been deteriorating or going crazy in the direction he analyzed.
Even though NetEase's stock price is still consolidating at a high level, most of the shares under the name of Tianqi Investment have been sold out, and a huge amount of nearly 500 million US dollars has been withdrawn.
For the remaining points, if there are no major problems, it is not a problem to withdraw more than 100 million US dollars.
In mid-April, the greenery in Tsinghua Garden became stronger.
Wu Tao rode a mountain bike, carrying An Rong, and drove in quickly from the south gate.
"You seem to be gaining weight again!"
An Rong hit him angrily, not wanting to talk more about this topic, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "Look, someone bought a new computer from outside today."
Wu Tao looked up, and it was true.
In fact, this is not unusual. Over the past few months, almost every day, we can see all kinds of new computers entering the Tsinghua campus, some from Lenovo, some from Fuzhong, and some imported from abroad, such as Dell.
Not only that, but Tsinghua Unigroup and Peking University Founder, two high-tech development companies, have begun to enter the field of desktop computers.
It can be seen that this market is booming.
The two went to the library for a stroll, borrowed a few books, and returned to Tianjing Company without stopping.
Although Wu Tao is no longer involved in the specific business of Tianjing Company, his office is still here most of the time.
His office is always full of various documents, English, Chinese, everything.
It's just that the office that used to be exclusive to him now has two desks, and An Rong's office is also arranged here.
There is no way, Tianjing Company's territory is not big, so we can only make do with it.
Unlike usual, the two of them had just returned to the office and sat down today, stepping on high heels, when Qiu Wuyan, who had a graceful posture, knocked on the door forcefully and came in.
"Boss, how did Apocalypse Investment get back the funds for this promotion project? Xiaonei.com also pointed at this investment, and promoted it in enterprises and institutions. This is a big move, and we discussed and decided it after a meeting. "
Wu Tao took the document and scanned it, then placed it on the table, put his hands together, leaned back in the chair and said, "That's right, that's what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Qiu Wuyan couldn't figure it out.
Wu Tao swayed his legs up and said: "Don't you understand? From now on, your Xiaonei network must learn to be self-reliant and responsible for its own profits and losses. I don't admire the kind of independent development in the past in a short time. Keep your feet on the ground and make profits When the model is well developed, it is stronger than anything else.”
"...I have emphasized more than once at company meetings that the winter of the Internet is coming. You must be prepared in all aspects, and the reduction in investment is one of them."
Qiu Wuyan still wondered, "Is the situation really that pessimistic?"
Wu Tao spread his hands together, "We might as well wait and see."
After sending Qiu Wuyan away, Wu Tao subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows.
He has been worrying a lot about incidents like this recently.
As a result, just after rubbing it twice, the phone on the table rang suddenly, and Molly's familiar American accent came from inside.
"Hi, Darling Wu, long time no see, I really miss you."
"Unfortunately, I don't miss you that much."
"Hehe, you really know how to joke." Molly's joking voice turned serious and said, "I recently noticed the actions of Tianqi Investment, tell me, is the situation really so serious?"
"I'm afraid it is." Wu Tao said concisely.
"Then I know!" Molly didn't bother, but changed the subject: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that Howard recently bought a lot of NetEase stocks. It seems that he has some ulterior plan. ..."
